Poland cancels LTE auction

Poland’s Office of Electronic Communications was forced to cancel its auction of frequencies in the 700 MHz, and other bands due to a technical problem with the auction rules

Fearing challenges to the results if the auction went ahead, UKE President Magdalena Gaj decided to call it off and start again. “My obligation as a regulatory authority is to ensure that all market players may conduct their business in [a] stable and certain environment,” she said. Not everyone is happy with way the process is being handled - telco Polkomtel says it may boycott the auction due to provisions which it says might limit its chances of winning a bid.
